Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 22011

Received: 13/03/2020

Respondent: Mr George John Quakley

Representation Summary:

Almost certainly most Hellesdon residents feel they have seen enough residential development - 'concreting over' as many term it.
So where 'green' space for recreation exists every effort should be made by planners to preserve it. This is particularly aposite(sic) to the former Jarrold site.
The existing adjacent residential area (Brabazon Rd/Prince Andrews Rd/Close/Heath Cl/Crescent) forms a pleasant 'oasis' bounded as it is by Norwich Airport, industrial sites & the A140, clearly a 'green' recreational space within this area would be a boon to residents especially perhaps for the elderly & children, sports England have an interest & I'm sure that organisation would welcome residents to some if not all their activities. The case for retaining the 'green' space appears overwhelmingly strong
A note on residential development, should this be approved clearly access should be via Fifers Lane, phased traffic lights (IE. rush hour) & road markings to prevent access being blocked should suffice. The completion of the NDR-A47 should reduce traffic pressure in Fifers Lane.
